Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Purple Haze lends the psychedelic high that Jimi Hendrix made famous, while Malawi Killer contributes the trichomes and the patience required for a long flowering time. Wood, spice and diesel on the nose, with an energetic, euphoric high that keeps the mind well ahead of the body. A collision of two continents, worth the wait.

Where it comes from

Ace Seeds set Purple Haze #23 against Malawi Killer, and each parent has left an unmistakable stamp. The Purple Haze side brings the classic psychedelic high, the one Jimi Hendrix made legendary, while the Malawi genetics contribute the massive trichomes and, less conveniently, the long flowering time of a true equatorial African. A pure Sativa, and a collision of two continents in one plant.

Nose & flavour

Wood, spice and diesel, a dry, resinous nose with none of the fruit you might expect from the purple side. The Malawi lineage runs earthy and pungent, the Haze sharpens it with fuel. An old-world sativa smell, uncompromising and unsweetened.

The high

The effect keeps the mind well ahead of the body: euphoric and energetic, with a psychedelic, soaring quality that the pure-Sativa makeup all but guarantees. This is a heady, forward high, not a restful one, best approached with the day ahead of you rather than behind.

Growing it

Here is the price of that pedigree: 91 to 105 days in flower, a marathon by any measure, courtesy of the Malawi side. Neither height nor yield is recorded, so I'll not guess, but a pure equatorial Sativa will stretch, so give her the headroom regardless. THC runs 18 to 23% with 0.2% CBD, and the trichome coat is heavy enough to gum up your scissors. One for the patient grower alone.
